ASH-TRAY.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 708,650, dated September 9, 1902.

Application filed April 17, 1902.

Be it known that I, PAUL KULICKE, gentleman, of Buckow, near Frankfort-on -the- Oder, Prussia, Germany, have invented a new and useful Ash-Tray,of which the following is a specification. v

My invention comprises a new ashtray which is provided with an adjustable cigar support or rest, and thus aords means for adapting the support to the respective length of the cigar.

My invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l shows a plan view of the ash-tray; Fig. 2, a longitudinal vertical section thereof. Fig. 3 illustrates a side view of the tray.

In the construction of my invention I use two vertical plates a and b, which are suitably cut out, (see Fig. 3,) so as to form stands a' at its lower edge and cigar supports or rests b by a half-round recess in the middle portion of the upper edge. Trays c and d are secured to said plates a and b, which trays extend horizontally therefrom on opposite sides thereof. The plates are in adjustable connection with each other by means of a horizontal dat bar e, which has its one end rigidly secured to the one plate a, and passes Serial No. 103,468'. (No model.)

through a guiding-sleeve f, projecting from the other plate l). The free end of said guidebar e is slightly bent down for limiting the adjustment. It will thus be seen that the distance of the su pporting-plates t and b may be easily regulated in conformity with the respective length of the cigar to be supporte Having now described my invention, I claiml. An ash-trayhaving an adjustable cigarsupport and consisting of two Vertical plates forming stands and supports an adjustable connection between said plates and trays secured thereto so as to extend at opposite sides therefrom, substantially as described.

2. In an ash-tray the combination of two vertical plates cut out so as to form stands and'cigar-supporting recesses, a sliding bar secured to the one plate and guided in a horizontal sleeve extending from the other plate, means for limiting the sliding motion of said guide-bar and two trays secured to said plates, substantially vas described.
